Guess its time for an update.

Since my last post, a few things have changed to the car. All for the better..

Mods list:

Suspension
STD Coilovers + Wheel Alignment
Whiteline Front + Rear Sway Bars
Whiteline HD End links
Whiteline Lateral Locks
Whiteline Roll Centre Kit
Cusco Front OS Strut Brace
Cusco Rear OST Strut Braces
Cusco H-Brace

Cosmetics
Gold Rota G-Force 18x8.5's wrapped in Yokohama S-Drives
Changed to STI Rear Spoiler
JDM HID Front lights
Clear side repeaters + Reflectors
20%? Window tint

Still to come, in the not too distant future:
Process West TMIC
Process West CAI
3" TBE (Probably a varex)
Tune
Your car will handle like its on rails with all those quality parts

Not to mention look mean with the new rims!

On the engine front, get a STI TMIC not the PW TMIC, save $$$ and invest in a good 2nd-hand turbo (VF34,VF22, etc).
The STI TMIC and decent VF3X or a TD05 XXG would be a great budget set-up.

***EDIT: unless you already have a turbo and I missed it somewhere in the thread?

Thanks Dan - Will certainly look into it. Was aiming for a VF34 or something similar.
Silly question- Know anywhere that I could find a STI TMIC?

Japanese Wholesale Spares - I got one for $400, not a single bent fin!
Also try KYP, STechnic, etc... any Subie wrecker, they are however a hot item and go very quickly.

Will give it a go! Thanks mate.

So got a chance to take a few snaps while the weather held up. Photos aren't that great, but they give you a reasonable idea.











Quick shot while I was at wheels world



Might get the front lowered just a little bit further..

Great job on all the mods. Did Wheels World do your alignment?

Thanks mate. Evo-R did the alignment. Couldn't be happier.

Didn't intend on a lip, but now you've got me thinking about it

Alright, well this is the only lip I can think of;Ultrex STI Lip.
Unless there's another one I can look for? Any suggestions?
